Speaking Leaves

I took this photo on the third day (August 16th, 2011) of a two week youth camp in Guyana. The three children in the photo represent three of the six major races in Guyana: the Africans, the East Indians, and the indigenous Amerindians. The photo's foreground shows one girl occluding her smile, another peering off into the nearby distance, and a third jumping to gather more leaves from the trees, her long black braid bouncing.
